Pam,

Both JAWS and Window-Eyes offer out-of-box support for many
applications.  Each also has mechanisms for helping to handle situations
where you want to adjust how the screen reader works with an
application.  In JAWS as you mention it is the scripting
language.  Window-Eyes offers what they call set files.

Have you used either program?  I would consider getting demonstration
copies for each program which can be downloaded for free and determine
which you feel more comfortable using.
